Margaretha Neufeld (ABT 1867 - 15 Dec 1924)

The maternal relationship between Margaretha Neufeld and her daughter Helena Klassen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant BDF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between BDF and other confirmed descendants of Jacob Schellenberg/Christina "stiencke" Loewen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since BDF descends from Jacob Schellenberg/Christina "stiencke" Loewen through Margaretha Neufeld and her daughter Helena Klassen, the presence of significant shared DNA between BDF and other known descendants of Jacob Schellenberg/Christina "stiencke" Loewen validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jacob Schellenberg/Christina "stiencke" Loewen through Margaretha Neufeld to Helena Klassen, and ultimately to BDF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
